JEB BUSH NEEDS BIG FUNDRAISING REPORT
Breitbart ^ | 5 October 2015 | MIKE FLYNN

Posted on 10/06/2015 6:13:41 AM PDT by jimbo123

The third quarter fundraising period for presidential campaigns is over, having closed Wednesday. Detailed numbers won’t be publicly available until later this week, but campaigns are free to report their results at any time. More than any other candidate, Jeb Bush needs to report a strong fundraising quarter to quell growing doubts about his campaign.

-snip-

Sources close to the Ted Cruz campaign told Breitbart News that the conservative favorite raised around $14-15 million last quarter, matching his fundraising in the second quarter.

No other GOP campaigns have reported or leaked their fundraising numbers for the third quarter. The summer months are traditionally difficult for fundraising, but the Republican nomination fight has been much more active than years past. It is still telling, however, that campaigns are being tight-lipped about their fundraising.

The loudest silence, though, is from the Bush campaign.

Jeb Bush needs to recover his psychic balance and withdraw from a hopeless campaign.

Donors: “Jeb, you need to raise a lot of money or we’re not going to give you any money.”

Jeb will fail. All eyes should be on Rubio. Romney supposedly sent many donors his way. There seems to be a lot of bad blood between Romney and Jeb.

I think Ben Carson announced numbers as well - they were pretty huge - over $15 million.

As for Jebbie, I cannot imagine anybody wanting to throw money down that sinkhole.

Everything I have seen so far tells me that Jeb Bush is incapable of adjusting to a fluid situation. I guess he thought he could do little other than fund raise from big money donors, then do some actual campaigning for 8 weeks or so before the Iowa Caucuses.

Instead Trump, Cruz, Carson, Fiorina and Rubio have taken the momentum that Bush seemed to think was his because of his family name.

Carson raised $20 million in 3Q but there are questions on whether he spent it all already, too. We’ll know in 10 days or so.

I think I might post this as an article, but wouldn’t it be cool and wouldn’t you think very highly of the field, if at some point they all said, we’re putting our support for Trump? Instead of fighting it out til the end.?

“there are questions on whether he spent it all already”

LOL. Sounds like we might have a scandal brewing.

It’s not a scandal. But Carson has high expenses. And I don’t think Jeb will have much cash in the bank either.

Carson is not running any ads. If he already spent $20 million there will be a scandal. Mark my words.

Jeb needs to exit the race, and never be heard from ever again.

Especially after the "tippy-toes" video, possibly the most cringe-worthy campaign moment since Al and Tipper's awkward kiss.

I was unaware of the Bush Romney bad blood. Thanks

¡Yeb! The Joyful Tortoise can raise more money than everyone else and he still won’t have votes.

Voters do not want to abandon the rule of law and surrender their country to fraudulently documented foreigners and their employers.

The Cheap Labor Express has many more candidates to choose from should ¡Yeb! completely flame out.

Rubio and Fiorina seem to be the alternatives at the moment. At one time Kasich was but seems to have sunk his own campaign by exposing himself as a Democrat in an R jersey.

Are there significant penalties to simply lying about the numbers? I wouldn’t put it past this guy on tip-toes, whose entire nuclear family including himself is known to indulge in petty crimes.

I imagine Willard only reluctantly stood down so that Yeb could make this embarrassing attempt. Willard must be talking to the mirror every morning, telling the image there how much better it would be if that was the face of the party machine.
